The Medical Council recently requested the Medical Council Numbers for all doctors currently enrolled on the 2016/17 Professional Competence Schemes, which began on the 1st May 2016. This data was required by the Medical Council before 17th October 2016.

In response to our Survey earlier this year, we received many responses regarding the PCS online portal. There were a number or recurring themes and in order to address these we have compiled a new handbook which we hope will address a number of the issues highlighted in the survey – this handbook is an overview of the PCS requirements and incorporates all the guidelines and resources in relation to the PCS online portal - click here for the handbook.

If you would like to receive a ‘print’ copy of this handbook please forward your mailing address to pcs@rcsi.ie and we will be happy to post a copy of the handbook to you.

We also launched a range of new online resources to help users navigate the portfolio and these are available here
